oh okay, hope you find out who she is!

@louella404 Here's a non sequitur shot in the dark: are you the "Mary K" I saw profiled on another website?

Hi John,

I was revisiting your video again tonight to share with my friend.

John, what class where you in in Radnor High? Yes, I did go there, if you were referring to me!

@louella404 Actually, my high school reference was meant for the other poster, nancyelsie. I have no clue who she is, nor did she get back to me, but I was intrigued by the fact that she called me "Jack," a name I dropped 50 years ago. As for my secondary education, I graduated from Upper Darby Senior High.  I moved to Radnor after I got married and my daughter graduated from Radnor High, class of 1988.

This is a great video of a very good friend of mine. Thank you for honoring him.

@louella404 My pleasure. I appreciate your kind words.

Judging by the fact that you used a name I discarded almost 50 years ago and that we seem to be about the same age, I'm going to assume we knew each other in high school. But beyond that, I have no clue. Care to remind me?

I'm also curious how you discovered this video, and that you were among the first several dozen to have done so.

I'm quite sure my appalling memory will be confirmed by your responses, but let that be no impediment. I look forward to hearing from you.

Regards, John

Lovely video, glad he went to the parade. We have dishonored our boys from those years enough, haven't we?. Thanks Jack.
